About the appeal
Scarborough Hospital provides urgent and emergency care to around 70,000 people from Scarborough and the surrounding areas every year. However, patient needs are changing. Current facilities urgently need updating in order for us to meet demand and provide the best care possible.
The new centre is scheduled to open early 2024 and will transform the overall experience of coming to hospital for patients. The high quality and modern facilities will also dramatically improve the environment for hospital staff who work tirelessly to provide quality care.
York & Scarborough Hospitals Charity have already committed £450,000 to the centre. We need your help to raise an additional £400,000 through the Urgent and Emergency Care Appeal to support the development. This will enable us to create the best possible environment for patients and staff.
About the project
The Scarborough Urgent and Emergency Care Centre build is extremely good news for staff and for the community that Scarborough Hospital serves. It is the largest scheme ever undertaken by the Trust, and demonstrates commitment to the long term future of Scarborough Hospital.
The project will include a two-storey new build, combining and expanding the current emergency department, same day emergency care and the acute medical unit, and improving outcomes for the frail elderly.
The second floor will care for those patients with more critical needs in new intensive care, coronary care and high dependency units.
It will ensure some of the poorliest patients in the hospital are cared for in one integrated clinical ward environment rather than being moved to other wards.
